As the demand for sustainable building design analysis tools and sustainability consulting increases in North America, the company promoted Kevin and hired additional staff to support this market.

Kevin will further reinforce the company’ software suites and consulting services as the go-to option for energy and performance analysis for sustainable building design in the North America.

Kevin will work to further advance the green design movement to facilitate net zero energy designs. Along with the development and expansion of software offerings and use, IES will depend on Kevin to promote its consultancy and training. He has a diverse professional background involving practice in architecture, software – Revit Technology, façade engineering at Arup, director of technology and innovation at Green Roundtable, and co-director of NEXUS – Boston’s Green Building Resource Center.

“IES will look to Kevin’s expertise in green building to not only advance our presence in North America but to further position the company as a thought leader in the market,” said Don McLean, founder and managing director for IES. “With Kevin as the leader, we know he is going to continue to push our North American team to further drive global success in 2009.”

Along with the promotion of Kevin, several other additions were made to expand the North American team on both the consultancy and training side of the IES business. The new additions to the North American team include Suzanne Robinson, consultancy manager; Michelle Farrell, Sarah-Nell Compton and Charudatta Joshi, Green Building consultants; and Angela Chan, training manager.
